WASHINGTON — The scandal around fallen IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn has proved an awakening for young women in France and has sparked a timely conversation about sexual harassment, a US author says.
Elaine Sciolino, the long-time New York Times bureau chief in Paris, has just written a book exploring the issue of seduction in France and its importance in the corridors of power and the workplace.
And she said maybe there was another chapter of her book La Seduction to write now, following the revelations of the sex scandal surrounding Strauss-Kahn.
The former IMF chief and French politician has long had a reputation as a womaniser, but now stands accused of trying to rape a chambermaid in a New York hotel and sexually assaulting her last month. — AFP
